The original Bushwood thread is overflowing like Craig Stadler's FUPA.
Use this thread to discuss tournaments, swing thoughts, equipment, and golf deals.
I thought we could also use the OP to create a WITB for ChiefsPlanet members. I'll list a poster's name and put their sticks in a spoiler tag, so you can see what everyone is carrying. [Reply]

This.
The course should be the course, no matter the weather conditions. It might play a little more difficult in bad weather, or a little easier in good weather, but there's no way Players should be firing the rounds they were in the first 3 days for a US Open. Today is going to be interesting for sure. [Reply]
I gotta say, I have never understood the fascination with "protecting" an arbitrary number.
The leader after 3 round has taken 204 shots. The leader at this stage last year at the mighty Oakmont had taken 203. Relabeling par 5s as par 4s does not make a course a true test of golf or a good US Open venue.
Happy Father's Day to al of you, hope you enjoy it. [Reply]

You set a goal for the entire golfing summer of shooting an arbitrary number. [Reply]
Man you guys are being too tough on this tourney. I find it quite exciting. I don't care what the final score is as long as multiple guys have a chance till the end. [Reply]

That's what I was saying earlier. The massacre at Winged Foot happened the year after Miller's 63.
But who knows... there seemed to be a lot of blowback after the last two setups. Like Adam Scott saying a few weeks ago the USGA needs to worry about growing the game and instead of worrying so much about par. Seems like a lot of guys feel that way. But then again they're playing with equipment that allows them to do things no one has ever done before. [Reply]
